Six Tastiest Events on Denver's Culinary Calendar January 15-17

For most of Denver, the main event this weekend will be the Broncos taking on the Steelers on Sunday — but there are a handful of tasty side dishes to whet your appetite for the big game. From cooking classes to free yoga at Ace to anniversary benefits, here are the six tastiest events on the calendar.

Friday, January 15

Spend your Friday evening learning about steak, while sipping some locally-made whiskey during the Cook Street School of Culinary Arts Steak and Whiskey class. The course will cover all you need to know about cooking steaks, as well as making a few side dishes to round out your meal. A representative from a local distillery will be on hand to conduct tastings of the product, and fill you in on the details of great whiskey. The class runs from 6 to 9:30 p.m., and tuition is $99 per person. Register and learn more at cookstreet.com.

Today from 6 to 9 p.m., you can put those New Year's resolutions to paper or, better yet, clay. EvB studio will be holding an INTENTIONcookie mini-shop, where you can bake your 2016 resolutions into clay fortune cookies as a reminder to stay motivated. The $10 fee for the class includes clay, use of studio tools, firing and color wash. Your fired and finished cookies will be available for pick up next month.
